Description
Installing on Mac, I noticed I got an error when executing the curl command to download and run the shell scripts. The download went fine but installation gave error that No sha256sum in MacOS. Searching it I found a fix which was to have coreutils package installed on mac and I did it using homebrew using `brew install coreutils` so that worked. Not sure if you want to mention that in the guide (for MacOS).

Research direction
Start with the InfluxDB 3 Core installation guide at docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/core/install/ and review its macOS curl and shell-script steps. Update the guide to explain the sha256sum error and the required macOS workaround, then verify that the installation instructions are complete for Mac users.
